Umineko would be better if it just cut out all of the hacky meta shit about mystery stories, it would be like half the length and way tighter while still retaining the core of what makes it special. Ryukishi is just such a sped he can't help himself, Higurashi suffers from this too when he gets into WW2 autism but thankfully it doesn't bog down the length quite as much.
